_Middlemarch_ by George Eliot
_Middlemarch_ by George Eliot I can’t even remember when I started reading this on my iPad as a distraction from my academic reading. The synopsis of the story is better written here, than I could do it justice. It wasn’t one my top novels. It was similar in style to a Jane Austen novel and…

Container Gardening – Part..3/4?
My little balcony garden is starting to show signs of fruition. Yippee! The past couple of weeks have been cooler and quite windy, so the poor plants have had a bit of a rough go. However, it should make them stronger, right? I’m hoping they keep on going and as the weather starts to warm…

Scary…
I had planned to write a different post this morning, but when my inbox presented me this Groupon offer there was no questioning what today’s topic would be… Not only is it Hello Kitty. Not only is it called ‘Digestive Biscuits’. It’s also a coupon for a discount on buying them! AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH! Plus, you gotta…

Waiting…
Just to let you know, I hate waiting…. It makes me not sleep well at night, which leads to a tired and grumpy me during the day. Put meetings on top of that and I’m a very mean bear! Hopefully, the waiting will end soon…. 😛

Prepare the Violins!
I know I have the kind of job where I can’t really complain since it comes with a lot of vacations and such compared to most. However, I maintain that the work that I do is compacted into very full days, thus fully justifying the time off. Take, for example, exam week of HELL: *Yesterday…

Happy Lunar New Year!
It’s officially the year of the dragon – my Chinese lunar animal. I also happen to be a fire dragon, which I am told is the worst kind for a female to be since she can be rather head-strong and quick-tempered. Me???? 😛 While I don’t put much stock in horoscopes or even the lunar…

Avoidance…
I think I’m in a bit of an avoidance phase. Avoiding – work, study, and reality in general. This means I read more, knit more and watch a lot more TV. 😉 Not sure why, but I guess I just need some escaping at the moment. No doubt I’ll return to the real world soon…

Time Management and Expanding My Horizons…
When the new year came around, I did my usual thinking and re-creating of a daily and hourly schedule for my life routine. This activity tends to bring balance back to my life and often helps me to focus my energies on what is important in my life. In a day, I can be extremely…

More Adoption Links
This weekend, I’ve been looking at some more adoption links found on a couple of new sites that I started following. The web presence is growing and growing…. The links are also on the right side under ‘Adoptees/Adoption’. The Declassified Adoptee (http://www.declassifiedadoptee.com) Production not Reproduction – Open Adoption Blogs (http://www.productionnotreproduction.com/p/open-adoption-blogs.html) Article on literature of adoption…

A week gone by…
I hardly know where the week went and my grand plans to start writing more regularly on my new schedule have been a bit slow to get habitualized. Strange how having so many long vacations actually causes more stress and chaos than just continuing to work all the time. The constant adjustment of sleep and…
